Hannes Bok

Ciba Symposia ~ 1943-47

This medical journal is easily the most obscure, and hardest to find,

of the professional magazines that Bok had his artwork published in!

These are the only covers I'm aware he did!

Happy 4th of July

Every 4th of July from 1968-1976 I attended

Phil Seuling's Comic Art Convention in New York City!

What incredible memories! There never has been or ever

will be the equal to those gatherings!

Highlights from the program booklets of those years!

A brief comment...anyone that looks in here on a regular basis

know I spend uncounted hours scanning and sharing images

from my collection with no branding, tagging or otherwise

disfiguring the artwork. I put it out there for anyone to grab and

use but more and more I find my scans on other sites with no

mention of where the images are grabbed from. I do these posts

to keep the memory of these artists and their art alive but there

is a lot of time and work involved! It would be greatly appreciated

if you use these scans just say where you got them

and send folk on over...thanks!

The Rocket's Blast and The Comicollector

152 issues ~ 1960-1982

About a week ago I opened up a box out of storage with a

batch of the RBCC issues in it...I thought this would make

a great posting so I started scanning...I guess I got carried

away as this is my largest posting! Don't try to absorb it all

at once, it's not going anywhere!

There were earlier comic book fanzines but this is the premeire

zine that introduced me to so many aspecets of collecting

including pulps, BLB's, serials and of course all kinds of comics!

In my mid-teens I spent uncounted hours with life long friend

Marbleriver pouring over every issue again and again. When we

weren't looking at the issues we spent hours on my front

porch waiting for the mail hopeing a new issue would arrive!

At the time I didn't know anything about the editor and publisher

G.B. Love but since then learned what an incredibly inspiring person

he was! Born with cerebal palsy he never let his condition affect

his imagination or productivity! His magazines and efforts were in a

large part solely responsible for the early fans to communicate

and learn from each other!

Covers and art by John Fantucchio, Wally Wood,

Don Newton, Richard Corben and so many others!

(Thanks to Marbleriver for helping with the scans!)

Boris Dolgov

Very little is known about Dolgov other than that he was

a fan and friend of Hannes Bok (They did several collaborations

signed Dolbokgov) His artwork was printed in the 1940's

science fiction/fantasy pulps. Dolgov's earliest known work is in the

June/1941 issue of Stirring Science Stories and up through1954 his

art can be found in Astonishing, Cosmic, Future and Super Science but

the majority of his art and only covers (5) are printed in Weird Tales.

(Over the years I've heard stories from several old timers that he fell

to his death by falling from the fire escape to his own apartment)

a handful of his science fiction illustrations

the Weird Tales illustrations will be coming in short order

Maxfield Parrish and Dolgov on the left and

Hannes Bok holding an original Parrish painting on the right.

This is the only photo of Dolgov I've ever seen!
